hey, soul sister

i used to think when you were gone {i'd still hear voices in these halls} June waited, body tense and ready as she watched him settle into his battle stance as well. They stood still for a moment and then August launched into action, starting forward and making June flinch away from him, recoiling from an attack that would not come. Her body was just enough off balance that when August came at her from the left (his right) and his body hit her left shoulder, June went down to the ground. She landed heavily on her right side, a soft 'oof' escaping her in her surprise. August's body was over her now, effectively trapping her beneath him and limiting her range of movement, but she tried to shield her vital organs as much as possible. Her hind paws pulled back to cover her stomach as much as she could (though she doubted he would aim for her stomach) and she narrowed her eyes to shield them from any dirt and dust that might be kicked up in the fray. June pinned both ears back almost as soon as she'd hit the earth, hoping that that would protect them from any attacks. As August's fangs reached towards her ear, June launched her first attack. He bit down on her left ear - not the worst injury, all things considered, but the teeth tore through her flesh, leaving bite marks that began to bleed almost immediately. For a second, the sensation of blood trickling outwards perturbed June enough that she hesitated, remaining still beneath August's body for a second. But then the moment was over, and she forced herself to stretch her neck out and attempt to bite at August's lower right ankle. It was not intended to be a strong bite if it landed, though she aimed to break skin; June didn't want to cause any serious harm to the male, but hopefully it would be enough that he would move and let her onto her paws again. Should August shift enough to allow her to do so, June intended to leap onto her paws immediately, though whether or not that would be possible remained up in the air. no, you're never really dead to mejune kalendae

round 1 / 2
defenses - currently pretty basic; hind paws are pulled in to protect her stomach a little, eyes are narrowed to shield them from dust/dirt/injury, and her ears are pinned
attacks - aiming to bite August's right ankle, which will hopefully get him to move a little
injuries - bite on her left ear, possible bruise on both shoulders (left from August hitting it, right from hitting the ground)
